BRITISH star Jodie Burrage saved the day after a ball-boy was taken ill – by offering him some Percy Pigs.
The 2022 Wimbledon Championships got off to a rocky start after rain saw all play grind to a halt after just 40 minutes.

When play finally restarted, British wildcard Burrage, 23, was forced to go from tennis player to nurse in a matter of seconds.
Trailing 5-2 at the rain delay, she quickly slipped to a 6-2 first set defeat against Ukrainian opponent Lesia Tsurenko.
But moments later, she was called into action after a ball-boy suddenly fell ill – with the BBC quickly cutting the feed to Court 18, clearly worried about his wellbeing.
The youngster in question collapsed into a chair and looked visibly dazed.
Officials rushed over to check on him with play halted for a second time..
Still looking somewhat worse for wear, Burrage came over to help.
The British No5 offered a Powerade and energy gel.
And in a sweet gesture, quite literally, a fan in the stands offered up their packet of Percy Pigs.

Burrage dashed the packet over to the lad and offered him a little pick-me-up.
The poorly ball-boy was eventually helped off the court by a line judge and the umpire.
He then received treatment from paramedics next to Court 18.
